Most of the additional staff needed for this work would be employed in the Public Works Department, with some in the Transport Depart- ment. The cost of those processing the Corporation's land require - ments would be covered in the same way as for the MIS. It is proposed that the cost of staff for other work would be recovered from the Corporation only in so far as the work involved was commissioned directly by the Corporation, in accordance with the procedures already agreed between the Government and the Corporation for the MIS.
